Episode 15: Stripped with Wage War

Non normal shows are some of our favorites. Whether its in an unique venue, or with a sympathy supporting the band, or a fully acoustic set. Wage War, a band we just discovered in 2022, did just this with two out of three, which ain't bad. On tour with the headliner A Day To Remember, both bands put on a killer show in an amazing ornate venue, the Chicago Theater. Tag along as we relive this fantastic concert.

Episode 14: Twisted Xmas with Jack White

With this being one of the last shows of 2022 we once again returned to Aragon Ballroom to join Q101 for night 2 of their Twisted Xmas concert series. While it's not a metal show by a metal artist, it was an amazing show with the rock icon Jack White. Join us as we revisit this incredible show and hear our evolving thoughts on this historic venue and our first time seeing Jack White, it will not be our last.

Episode 10: Machine Head - Of Kingdom And Crown Tour 2022

We head back out to the burbs to see another show. This is our first time at The Forge in Joliet where we saw Machine Fucking Head, also for the first time. It was an odd night with many emotions. Recorded a few days later we look back to see just how wrong we were and how all the negatives we had to say were not all that bad.
